For the past week, my lower right eyelid has been constantly twitching. It will twitch 3-4 times every few minutes and is really annoying! Anyone know what I can do to make it stop?
By the way, I think it started when I was holding in my sneeze. I work in a bakery and don't want to sneeze on the food, so I perfected the "silent sneeze". Anyways, I held a big one in and that's when my eye thing started.

Try pulling out the eyelid a little. Just put your finger in the corner of your eye and pull away gently towards your ear. That might stop the muscle from twitching.
Also - Caffeine and stress cause it to twitch. So if you drink a lot of caffeine (or sodas) or are stressed out, try to eliminate those.

i get those twitches when i am sleep deprived. for a year i had an eye twitch while i was going thru a divorce. after it was over it just went away. it was kind of weird. perhaps some rest and relaxation is what you need! as for sneezing at the bakery, wear a mask! one of those nose mouth gaurds. you can get those at home depot! good luck!

i think its more than just that ... sounds like you have an important decision to make or are having problems financially... these things make every ones eye twitch ! take a moment and relax give your face a massage,air out your problems and you will be fine... if it doesn't stop then , then i would say you may have a problem.do eye exercises.

usually it will go away in time. If it doesn't go away you might want to look at hemi facial spasms as the cause. My mothers eye started to twitch like that.....so keep that in mind!

Sleep! Usually associated with insufficient rest. NOT a doctor's opinion, btw....

may be when you sneezed, something got in ur eye, mostly because u work in a bakery. put some ice in ur eye and wash it with clean water everyday.
i hope u get better.
